Dogcatcher2 improves detection of transcriptional readthrough and identifies Alu element enrichment in DoG regions across sequencing platforms.

The paper applies a bioinformatic pipeline to RNA-seq data from ALS patients and controls to identify novel virus-like sequences.

The paper shows heat shock in C. elegans increases antisense transcripts and downstream of gene transcripts, which accumulate as dsRNA foci overlapping with HSF-1 granules.
